Well I suppose you are at least not one of those who is proposing to hold a referendum in which I can see no way that I will be invited to have my say as a sort of an ex-patriate Scot!

How euphemistic - they're going to "manage" protest around Parliament all the way up Whitehall, past Trafalgar Square, down Charing Cross Road, probably end up somewhere nice on Oxford Street for a spot of shopping.

Most right-thinking people, and I hope all Lib Dems, have castigated this government for the provisions of the Serious Organized Crime and Police Act that restrict protests within 1km of parliament, which was the thing under which Maya Anne Evans was prosecuted for reading the names of Iraqi war dead out at the Cenotaph.

Some of us signed one of those vacuous Downing Street Petitions on the issue a while back and we received notice of an even more vacuous government response to that today, published at the Number 10 site. So I thought it was worth highlighting from it that the government have (quietly so far as I can see) snuck out a consultation paper called "Managing Protest Around Parliament" on 25th October, which you can read and submit comments on until 17th January if you're interested.
